1. [Beijing] Dafa Practitioners Are Shot at by Plainclothes Police After They
Hang Up Banners on a Street

On the morning of March 3, 2003, a few Dafa practitioners were shot at by
plainclothes police after they hung up banners on a street. Luckily no one was
injured, but one Dafa practitioner's coat was left with a bullet hole in it.
Later the police searched the homes of the Dafa practitioners living in that
area. It is reported that three Dafa practitioners were arrested.

In our area, one or two Dafa practitioner go out to deliver the Dafa
truth-clarifying materials, while the rest of us help them by sending forth
righteous thoughts at home. In this way, our fellow practitioners delivering
materials have very good conditions and return safely. The evil aims at us as a
whole unit, so we should make use of our power as one body and not leave any
loopholes for the evils.

Zhang Binwen, the chairman of the board of the Tianying Conglomerate,
together with his subordinates, have been persecuting Dafa practitioners for a
long time. In December 1999, Falun Gong practitioners Zhao Guixiang (female),
Tan Ling (female), Ma Shufang (female), and the five members of Ge Yunsheng's
family went to Beijing to appeal. Although the Chinese constitution states that
citizens have the right to do this, the practitioners were put into detention
for half a year, and paid over 10,000 Yuan [Chinese currency, the monthly
salary for an average Chinese urban worker is about 500 Yuan] in extortion
fees to the security guards in the Tianying Conglomerate before they were
released. Also, six Dafa practitioners were fired and five Dafa practitioners
were sentenced to one to three years in a forced labor camp. After they were
released, they were closely monitored and followed. Even relatives that came to
visit them were interrogated.

Since 1999, the Conglomerate and the Zhanhe Public Security Branch have been
harassing Dafa practitioners by interrogating or detaining them without reason.
Their friends and businesses have been ordered not to associate with Dafa
practitioners, which has caused many of them to become homeless, as they were
deprived of incomes.
